Dear Boards and Riot

Hi there Boards, and Riot! (if you read this!)

Now 5 days ago I posted a change in the "gameplay & balance" section of your boards. Here is the link to the post/change I recommended for Annie : Annie

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/zp78mEiO-a-change-that-we-would-all-enjoy?show=flat

TL-DR of the change ^^ ; Make her R thrown like the new teemo shroom.

Now what I really enjoyed about my post is how much community feedback it received from people who played the champion annie and from those who didn't play it.

A lot of people were agreeing on the fact that my change would be a nice change on her! While adding some more counterplay to her ultimate, and making her even more deadlier!

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. What really bothers me, is that I can see the community response in the amount of UpVotes on the thread and total Views! Which is here.

As you can see it reached a favorable amount in each category. 125 upvotes, 5.1k views, 125 comments.

But what I feel like it is 100% lacking, is... Feedback from Riot. This post was top of the boards for almost 3 days straight before it fell down to none existence and not one Rioter commented on it.

Maybe I just had bad luck, and you all were busy?

Maybe none of you wanted to say sorry its not on our list of things to do.

But even still then, I would like some feedback like hey that's a neat idea, but we are currently busy with changing champs X X X, so we aren't really focused on Annie right now.

Just any type of feedback would be appreciated!

But what really bothers me, is that when threads like this.

Whom have only 5 upvotes. 56 comments. (I'm not counting views due to the fact that the views are most likely inflated due to there being a rioter comment on it. Which then would be linked to reddit/other places.)

Gets feedback from a rioter. Bothers me.

Sure maybe you were already planing on changing her mobility and you just wanted to say that you were, the feedback is awesome! Thanks for posting meddler!

But in all honesty it makes me almost jealous that someone who clearly has not grasped the new fiora yet. (Btw I play her, and I think she is fine. Actually I think she is really strong atm. I just believe no one knows how to play her.)

Makes a QQ thread about a champion. Gets almost instant feedback.

Where when someone makes a long integrated post about change, get's nothing.

So that's sort of my feedback for the boards, and or any rioter who reads this!

Basically, I'm not being mad at the fact that you guys give feedback. More or so just jealous at what topics receive the feedback and that there is not enough of it!

TL;DR of this post : MORE FEEDBACK FROM RIOTERS on the boards pls! Especially on high voted topics in the gameplay & balance boards! Like this one http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/zp78mEiO-a-change-that-we-would-all-enjoy?show=flat

Anyways keep rocking on and have a good day everyone!

I hear you bro, I sometimes feel like riot reads other places more then there own boards...

I mean yeah we all get they have to do work and stuff. But I saw your change you suggested on the front page and was amazed that it didn't have feedback from a rioter, it was such a good idea!

Hopefully this thread gets some attention! :3 GL

Well, because these two posts made by others are uh... well. Kind of more unique. Same as many other posts on the boards complaining about say, Nidalee or Riven. Riot doesn't really have a record of responding to more generic posts discussing champions such as Annie. That's my take on it anyway. I wrote a short story a while ago that I didn't think was going to get any traffic, but one of the Rioters said I did a good job and I almost crapped myself.

What's wrong with Annie as she is? There's enough counter play in seeing the stun swirl, stack number if you click on her, and she lacks speed/engage without investing in it /items (typically as support).

Flash+Tibbers is an iconic combo at this point, and it comes around about every five minutes. I really don't want Riot turning another champion who's supposed to be simple to pick up and making them less of that.
